The Holga's Famous Functions |
 |
//Natural Vignetting Effect
Sometimes
it takes a plain-jane shot to appreciate a Holga's images true majesty:
dreamlike, somewhat soft, vignetted at the corners, overflowing with
color, and absolutely bursting at the seams with personality. It's easy
to see why this plastic machine is so fiercely addictive. To spice
things up just a little bit, try putting one of our color or multiple
images in front of your lens. More samples HERE .

//Light leaked & messed up
The
most unique trademark aspect of the Holga are light leaks and light
incidences on your negative. This can be anything from a slight red
tint to a fully burnt out image with the film exp number burning onto
the negative. It's most likely to happen in bright sunlight, after
dropping the camera or slightly loosening your spool for developing. Samples HERE.

 |
//Multiple Exposures
The Holga has a separate shutter and advance –meaning that you can
shoot as many times as you like on the same frame without advancing.
This feature can be intentional or accidentally ruin a single exposure
photo. Multiple
exposures can create complex and stunning images and also turn
accidental double exposures into photographic miracles. Samples HERE.

 |
//Long exposures
Choose
between 2, the standard daytime speed or the exotic long-exposure “B”
setting - where you can hold the shutter open for as long as you want. To all you night photograping vigilanties out there, you may now capture
dazzling night images without a flash. Pair it with a flash to freeze
your sharp, flashed subject in front of a streaming, glowing
background. Samples HERE.

The Holga's Famous Functions |
 |
// Cross Processing
The prime choice for outrageous colors. This consists of developing a
slide film. By using the “wrong” chemicals, the colours become
displaced and your image explodes with brightness, saturation, and
contrast. The unpredictability of results is perfect for the Holga
photographer and gives the photo an even softer edge. Each film and
laboratory will produce different results. More samples HERE.

 |
//Colored flash
The
flash on the Holga 120 CFN/GCFN & mini MFC includes built-in color
gels. Tint your shots with color or create weird portraits of people at
night. Use it as a fill light with color during the day where nearby
subjects will be colored in while maintaining the natural light in the
background or enhance your double exposures with one frame of color.
The possibilities and combinations are endless. More samples HERE.
